The Holy Kingdom of Ellbonnia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Gustav VIII with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.529 billion Ellbonnians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ptolemaeus. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ellbonnian economy, worth 217 trillion Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,474 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only thing slower than the economy is the exchange where it's managed, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and tourists are forbidden to enter Native Ellbonnian lands. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ellbonnia's national animal is the Usian bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ellbonnia is ranked 15,286^th in the world and 812^th in The North Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 20,587.03 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
